Team Manager in Food – Food, Fast-Paced Leadership Role
Join Marks & Spencer (M&S) as a Team Manager in Food, where you’ll lead from the front and play a pivotal role in transforming our stores for next-generation customers.
This isn’t a traditional back-office leadership role. You’ll operate on the shop floor, driving standards, inspiring your team, and delivering exceptional service, commercial precision, and top-tier results—even in high-pressure moments.
We’re seeking confident, people-centric leaders who excel in fast-paced environments, make bold decisions, and unlock the best in others.
What Success Looks Like
Your impact will be measurable across several key areas:
- A high-performing department that delivers strong trade results, impeccable presentation, and five-star service
- A motivated, multiskilled team that feels supported, challenged, and proud of their contributions
- Clear ownership of standards, safety, availability, and operational excellence
- Strong commercial outcomes driven by insight, pace, and exceptional leadership
- A culture of inclusion where people feel valued, developed, and excited about growing with M&S
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
